Sculptor and mathematician George Hart will visit Ripon College Monday, March 21. He will speak about his sculptures and outreach projects at 10:10 a.m. in room 104, Todd Wehr Hall on the campus.
In the afternoon, Hart will help lead a mathematical construction workshop to build a life-size cardboard sculpture to stay on the Ripon College campus. The workshop will run from 1 to 4 p.m. at 314: Ripon College Project Space, at 314 Watson St., downtown Ripon.
Members of the public are invited to attend both events.

His visit is sponsored by the Ripon College Math Club, in collaboration with the Mathematical
Sciences Department, as part of the club’s goal to develop a deeper appreciation of mathematics in the Ripon community. As an artist and a mathematician, Hart reflects the liberal arts ideal of collaboration among disciplines.
